Former O's And How They're Doing

[Crazysilver03]

Alex Cintron had his contract purchased by the Nationals today and Raul Chavez had his contract purchased by the Blue Jays today.

Juan Castro had his contract purchased a few days ago by the Dodgers. Omir Santos had his contract purchased by the Mets yesterday.

Ramon Hernandez had a 2 run HR in the top of the 9th yesterday to lead the Reds over the Astros.

Eh, I could do that against the Nats.

Seriously though... Penn should still be on the team but I am glad he's having some success in FLA.

Do you throw 70mph?

Penn pitched .2 innings today. One walk, no Ks, one hit. The Marlins continue to put Penn in pressure situations. He's not being put out in blowouts, but in situations where he's asked to keep it close. I'm sure that's giving him confidence. It's nice to see. Wish we still had him, but for the first time today, I found myself warming to Andino.

Rick Bauer was the Opening Night pitcher for the York Revolution last night.

He worked four innings for the Revs, and the back-to-back doubles allowed in the second were the only hits he surrendered all night. The 6’6 right-hander gave up just one run, one walk, and struck out five. (thanks for Darrell Henry at www.YorkRevolution.com for this info)

Miggy - .365 / .412 / .429 in 63 AB's (They've had him in the 2 hole lately.)

Daniel Cabrera had a really tough outing against the Mets in NY today.

In his defense, he should have been out of the first without any runs scoring, but Elijah Dukes dropped a ball leading to three unearned runs.

Nevetheless, Cabrera lasted only 2 1/3 innings, allowing five runs (two earned), six hits & four walks on 86 pitches (one of them wild). He threw just 43 strikes and recorded one K.

The one good news is --while he didn't stroke his first hit -- he did make contact again, grounding out in his only at bat.

6.75 ERA. My my how a short reliever's fortune can change in the blink of an eye.

(Marlins seem to be running short on magic juice. Me thinks they need another series with the Nats )

Ouch. Not surprising in the least to me though. Penn's been getting by on smoke and mirrors this season thus far. Still wish him the best though.

Ponson looked really good against DET last night. He picked up the loss (a rough start to the season for him at 0-3), but was really sharp against a pretty tough lineup. 8IP 6H 3ER 7K 0BB, 101P(73 Strikes). He's been pretty decent in 3 out of his first 4 starts. He got absolutely shelled in his last start, going only 3.1 innings and giving up 6ER on 8H and 4BB, but aside from that start he's looked pretty solid.

Ponson's always been a halfway decent pitcher when he can keep his weight under 300 and his BAC under 0.20.

Just casually reading a minor league fantasy article from ESPN when I stumbled across this alarming quote from Giants' Prospect Madison Bumgarner:

"One of our pitching coaches, Steve Kline, talked to me, and said, 'If you need to, don't even look him, pretend it's just another hitter.'
